Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Following three consecutive draws, Northampton Town will look to climb to automatic promotion places when they take on Grimsby on Saturday. The Cobblers are eyeing their eight home win of the process, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Black and Whites. Since influential forward Louis Appere returns to the starting XI, home win should definitely be considered.
Meanwhile, the visitors suffered yet another dip in form, and given their poor performances in back-to-back defeats to Colchester and Gillingham, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to the East Midlands. In their last meeting at Sixfields Stadium Northampton defeated Grimsby, and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.

Ludvig Ohman played for the likes of AFC Eskilstuna and IF Brommapojkarna as well before joining his current club.
Ohman made his Grimsby Town debut in a 2-2 draw with Oldham Athletic on September 14, 2019, finding the net in the dying minutes of the match.

The Cobblers play their home matches at Sixfields Stadium, the venue that has a capacity of 7,798.

Northampton did well to make it to the Charity Shield final in 1909, with the team suffering a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United in the title game. The Cobblers are holding the record for the shortest time taken to secure promotion from the bottom tier to the top flight and relegated back down to the bottom again. Northampton Town managed to do so in only nine years.
